I just tried brood war again (the first time since getting windows 7 along with a ISP switch from Comcast to Brighthouse). There's exactly one game being hosted when i list "Show All".

(The sudden color distortion is also new...but inside bnet it seems okay.)

It's monday night, 9:30 EDT, so is bnet dead? or is something wrong with my computer or internet? It may also have something to do with the fact that I didn't instal SC, I just put in the CD and ran the .exe that migrated over on my Harddrive.



None.

It's not completely dead yet. You can still get a full house if you host the right games, which, unfortunately, are all dumb games that only 12 year olds enjoy. You should definitely be seeing more than one game under "Show All." At the very least, there are usually a few bot-hosted games that occupy the list.

7-11pm CST always has a fair number of games, HLS has full privs most nights (clan aura), UGL still thrives in op euro(, not dead, but it'll keep creepin' that way and will certainly seem like it during slower hours.

Try ChaosLauncher. StarCraft was not built for Windows 7 or modern day resolutions for that matter.

I noticed you didn't mention what server you're joining. You want to be on USEast.

No problem, I specifically thought of it because I've had the same thing happen :P

NimoStar -- But Terran players did win the game against the bot. So it is conclusive, Terran OP ;)=

NimoStar -- They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: wasnt even that really, they 6000 apm just made the terran army so much more value/$ that the extra economy didnt matter
Well yes and no. The apm made him win the battle, but I'm not convinced a pro player can't account for that. He got caught with his pants down so it's not really representative of a prepared player. And the extra economy absolutely would've mattered if that push didn't almost immediately end the game.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man nothing too special tbh. the human player wasn't ready to combat the push that stretched almost the whole map. So this game means nothing. We'll have to see how it goes once the humans have adjusted for its unorthodox strategies.
they basically lost most of their army in one big battle and didn't have the time and production to leverage the economic advantage and come back from that blow.

not sure why you are so hyped, when basically the same happened 7 years ago with AlphaStar on SC2.
